for me, I had not died ever, and it had been 2 months. So i go up to get some string from a spider on a hill, but there are 3 other ones. the sun is setting, and they aggro on me. As this happens, a creeper comes up and blows me and the spiders off the hill. me and the spiders die.

Ah, I remember it clearly. I was trying to get some wood. Got caught in the darkness by a bunch of mobs. Ran around stupidly for another few minutes getting my own little fanclub of monsters. I then proceeded to get stuck in a river with skeletons shooting me and zombies chasing me until I had died. Mind you I forgot how to swim properly and so was drowning at the same time as well. I hadn't even been playing for more than 30 minutes at the time.

I'm surprised I can remember but many many years ago it turned night in my world so I built up 2 blocks of oak planks. And I waited. I don't know if I even knew about creepers back than I think I did but forgot about them. So one came up behind me and blew me up. But that's not where it ends. It blew me sky high but somehow I landed in water. Than I was killed by a zombie because I forgot the controls.

Funny how these days I got a full set of stone tools on the first day.

Well this was back when the only thing I knew about Minecraft was that it was made of blocks. I didn't even know what a crafting table was. I was trying to run from spiders and skeletons in the desert the first night. I was very frustrated as I died several times (each time, I just tried to run only to lose hunger). I'm pretty sure I rage quit and wondered why people enjoyed it so much. lol Now here I am.

it was back in the day, pre-beta, when hunger wasnt a thing yet and food didnt stack. the world was finite, flat and small like a pancake. a really ridged pancake, but whatever. i was an innocent child in that time, and the small world of alpha was adorable.

then came the night.

and a bunch of zombies.

what else do i have to say? sprinting wasnt a thing either, so a single zombie could mean a serious threat. i tried to fight them, but when i realized i had no chance using my bare fists i turned and tried to run. little did i know i was completely outnumbered, surrounded by the hordes of the undead, and the more i ran, the more zombies got attracted to the smell of delicious living flesh eminating from me. these rotten creatures totally ran me over, and when i finally died they feisted on my body like a bunch of pidgeons on a 3-year-old's ice cream cone.

to this day, the sound of a groaning zombie terrifies me almost as much as the characteristic hissss from a creeper. i wish i could go back to that night and pay them back for their rampage on my young and innocent self.

Pretty sure my first death went like this: I heard a cave sound, and I got terrified (I was like 7 at the time) and I started running to try and get out of the cave and I ran straight into a creeper that just happened to be against a wall.

I didn't even like survival at the first time, so I played in creative mode. So I learned how to play creative (I still couldn't fly in creative mode...), then got curious. "What is there at the bottom?" ... That was my first death.

But hey, this post was about survival mode! My first death in survival mode was when I got pro at the first run, got at least 100 iron, but 3 diamonds. I made a pick from them. Then I went to my mine to find diamonds again. But... There was a giant lake of lava in front of the diamonds! I had some cobblestone in my inventory, so I made a 3 blocks wide bridge, just in case a skeleton was coming. Well, two of them was coming... I fell into the lava, but survived (with half a heart), and killed the skeletons. When I was about to mine them, a third skeleton killed me... Be aware of skeletons!!
